Little River Band - Red-Headed Wildflower lyrics

It's a shame, such a shame A red-headed wild flower in the wrong garden The man on the street didn't wanna be mean Her love was just the wrong kind She helped him to the top but the lovin' had to stop He was years away when she died It's a shame, such a shame No one was able to ease the pain A red-headed wild flower in the wrong garden (The red-headed wild flower) The man in the band extended a hand He led a shadowy life She made it easy at the top but the lovin' had to stop He was years away when she died It's a shame, such a shame No one was able to ease the pain It's a shame, such a shame No one was able to to stop the rain On the day she died there were some who cried So young, such a shame, no one to blame, no, no The man on the screen loved his own kind When her love was blind And the singer had a wife, trouble and strife Both were years away when she died It's a shame, such a shame No one was able to ease the pain A red-headed wild flower in the wrong garden (A red-headed wild flower, growing in the wrong garden, yeah)
